So do you agree or disagree with letting host choose, or should ncaa make things more consistent? They claim ncaa controls regional, doesn't seem like it then

The host earned the opportunity to decide when they play on day 1. After that the tournry is set in stone.

Thanks, have we ever had a baseball scholarship thread? It has been alluded to in some other threads, maybe we could work on this as a summer project after the season....specifically the use of alleged academic scholarships by the big boys to avert the ncaa limit.... I read that David price famously had an academic scholarship, but he said in an interview he only had a 2.6 GPA???

It isn't the big boys. Any state, such as Louisiana, that has a program similar to TOP's can pretty easily end up with a number of student athletes on academic scholarship. This can be very important in sports that don't have enough scholarships to go around. Baseball is a good example in that they only have 11.7 scholarships per NCAA rule.

p.s. - Not everything is a conspiracy against us.

How does lswho always manage to manipulate the schedule. I thought ncaa is supposed to control the regional, nearly every host plays in game two, but they were in game 1? Do they flip coins or something?

lswho has been manipulating the ncaa for may years now. They call the shots in refinery town....
The state legislators call an emergency secession Thursday night to discuss the issues......

I think the host gets the choice for the first day and while a lot of schools may choose game 2 to get fans there, LSU probably doesn't have that issue. So if they are playing within the rules and think it gives them an advantage with more rest (assuming they win g1), I have no problem with it.

It's smart to give yourself every chance. Those dudes played past midnight last night while LSU chilled. Almost no one does this and I don't know why.

Why does host choose last game of SBC tourney? That thing almost always ends after midnight, and loser plays at 12:30. Dumb imo

Well I did some research....even if the ncaa allows only six hours during season as long as you reach 24 for year, tops doesn't afford that luxury....so question asked again, now how are they doing it? Especially Mr.foster?
